This spring is shaping up to be a super exciting one with two big album releases!

Los Furios is dropping a new album on April 17, and No Island's long-awaited Better Days that we've been hard at work on for nearly a year will be released on April 21 with a Vancouver CD release show on April 25.

Continuing my annual tradition of waiting for a month before reviewing the previous year, here is my round-up 2014's personal and professional highlights:

Performing with Field Study. When I was in University, my first introduction to Vancouver's local indie music scene was Parlour Steps. I attended a number of their shows as I fell in love with the world of live music. I wanted to start my own band, and I made it a goal of mine to one day open for Parlour Steps. By the time No Island had started to come into its own, Parlour Steps had sadly disbanded, but I reached out to their former frontman Caleb Stull and was able to arrange a show with his new project Field Study at the same venue I had gone to see him play at many times before.

Opening for The Toasters and The Mad Caddies with Los Furios.

The coldest winter tour EVER with No Island. Lessons about the Coquihalla were reenforced.

Beginning my association with Lightbulb Vaporizer.

Beginning work on a new Los Furios album.

Another fantastic summer tour with No Island.

And the one thing that dominated 2014: Successfully crowd-funding and recording No Island's first full-length studio album "Better Days". This has been such a massive undertaking, and it's exciting to know that the finish line is now so close.
